Rewiring Yamaha TRBX 605 wih Audere preamp. The stock pickups have Positive, Negative, AND pole piece ground. I've followed directions from Audere, with correct connections as to not have popping when strings touch pole pieces, but continue to have loud pop when initially inserting cable into...

Im running a 2x10 with head. Probably only 300 watts through t to keep up with the drummer.

Its interesting how many musicians don't understand the basics of what is happening with Monitors and FOH and how what they want isnt really what they want. Its always a pain to explain to a singer that his monitor is so loud as to overpower the mains.

I've done FOH for small bands/gigs. With my limited knowledge and skill, I've found EQ, gain staging, mic placement, and levels, go the furthest to represent out front what the musicians give you. Cause thats all ive had to work with. Small 10-24 channel boards. Basic sound reinforcement and...

I can do dirty. I have an original darkglass b3k. Boss od3. Ashdown od. Zoom multieffects. He wants it ALL THE TIME.

Pick up shouldn't take long. All she has to do is put the drumsticks on the dashboard and park in a handicap spot

Its not ideal...again, overcomplication. What he thinks is simple is definitely not.

I've tried to give ideas about routing. Using a gig rig humdinger, or any other isolated splitter box directly after my bass guitar. But he says it's too complicated. I may just end up buying the damn splitter box myself, setting up the pedal board, and doing what you say

And plays a 7 string. All the time. (See music genres played in original post)

One of the nicest guys though.
